Incidentally, you may want to invest in an external USB hard drive. They're cheap these days and can hold a lot of data. I've got one here that's 160 GB. It currently contains a couple of generations of backup from two computers.
Hmm. I blew off the tiny, hyperexpensive usb drives a couple of years ago, but haven't looked at them recently. That could work well. I had been reading up on nfs, thinking about connecting it to my laptop and using it to back up my data. I also made a quick try to get ftp working, but didn't succeed immediately, and never got back to it.
You need another computer to use ftp or nfs. An usb disk is just another "internal" disk on the system, but physically external. It is transparent and slower, and very handy. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
